Overview
This Art and Design research program at the KdG University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Sint Lucas Antwerpen) focuses on research development of artists and designers whose practice is anchored in a social-political context (including but not limited to feminism, social design, migration, decolonialism, class politics, queer politics, disability politics, capitalism, identity, Anthropocene, the (under)commons, community art, conflict&design, healing&rituals, history, big data…). The program offers time and space to do research without the requirement of any particular final format such as an exhibition or production.
Features
The focus is on artistic research and research exchange. The program is aligned to each participant’s work rhythm and caters for specific theoretical interests by inviting a diversity of voices from a variety of fields that can cater to the individual and collective research interests.
Collective learning and participatory coaching are central to the program; it comes with the engagement of each participant to care for each other’s wellbeing and research development. We offer a coaching and participation methodology that is anchored in intersectional situatedness and care.
Programme Structure
Structure:
- The program is structured in three full day sessions every three weeks. These sessions will focus on the participants’ specific research proposals and enable them to advance in writing, theoretical explorations, research methodology, and sharing their research.
- Parallel to this trajectory we also offer three international, intensive and collaborative, one-week modules with distinguished artists, designers and professionals across the fields of artistic research. These guests will be selected in relation to the specific interests of the participants.
